Ed, it was good to meet you last night, thank you for keeping your word on these, you are a credit to the forum. I now need to find the rest of the parts needed to convert mine to a black interior.

January 2004, and still here.

Is Jim still working at RPM? The problem you have is the lack of adjustability in the injection system to get the best out of the modifications. For this reason after a lot of adjusting I decided to go to Megasquirt. On Ke-Motronic mine made 154bhp. On Megasquirt with a reasonable setup 178bhp.

Lets hope so. You can't fail to be impressed by Apple products, but the restricted way they force you to use the equipment is a big negative IMHO. ---------- Post added at 3:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 2:58 PM ---------- Very true regarding ease of use, my o/h's HTC is an Android phone. I'm sure the 920 will be on other networks soon. It would be crazy to limit it to only those networks.

How much do you want to pay for it? I'll bid up to that so you get the chance to pay what you want ;)

I have a Lumia 800. Really pleased with it. My other half has had an I phone 3 GS, HTC of some sort and now has an I phone 4. The HTC has not been that great, it often freezes and shuts down. I also find the HTC quite complicated to use. Both I Phones are very easy to use, but 3 GS had poor signal. The Lumia is easy to use, very reliable, and I would certainly have another Windows phone.

Thank-you Ed, that is very fair. I'll be there Sunday as agreed :)

As much tea with sugar as possible. As much sleep as possible, aided by night nurse. Multi vitamins and minerals if not eating. echinacea + first diffence seems to shorten the cold. Inhale Olbas oil in a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head.

Great - thank-you. I'll call at around 6.30 tonight if that is ok.

I'd like to take this please. I can collect on Sunday. I'll text you in a moment and call to discuss times etc tonight. Can't really talk at work - sorry.

Mk3 Golf GTI 2.0 16v ABF modified upper intake manifold. Below are graphs comparing the standard and short runner intake on a standard ABF engine. Please note in both cases the engine fuelling and ignition maps were optimised to suit the manifolds fitted. The Blue line shows the short runner torque and power outputs, and the green line shows the standard length runner torque and power outputs. Torque Plot (Vertical axis is torque measured in Ibft) On average the torque increased by around by 7Ibft between 2250rpm and 5500rpm resulting in a stronger feeling engine. Power Plot (Vertical axis is power measured in bhp) The blue short runner plot shows a power increase at all engine speeds. I had the manifold shortened by a local fabricator for use as part of a conversion on my Corrado 2.0 16v to stand alone engine management, but the project took a different direction, so it is no longer required. For further background information, please click this link http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.ph...ment-(results). The upper manifold section has short runners, but the plenum volume is standard.

I'm not on here as frequently as I once was, but still visit fairly regularly and will continue to do so. As has already been mentioned, less people are buying Corrados as sporty fast cars to modify, so that side of things has become quieter. I have thought the corrado forum and CCGB should join forces for many years.

The handling on GT4 just didn't offer the same level of enjoyment as GT3. I got to just under 100% completion on GT3, but could never find anything further to do, to get me to 100% My favourite games of recent years in no particular order are GT3, Forza 3/4/Horizon and Red Dead Redemption.

Gran Tourismo is undoubtably an excellent game, and over the years have been a huge fan of it, however I have not once found myself wishing I bought a PS3 instead of an Xbox 360. A few friends have GT5, to me it just seems to lack something when compared to Forza 4. Horizon is a bit different to not fair to compare the two. I own GT2, GT3 & GT4. I really enjoyed GT3, but found GT4 a bit dull.

Requested to join :) For the moment my name is ChifonKnave and some random number because I'm not allowed to change it for 30 days.

I got this on Saturday. I was really impressed with the Corrado being the first car you own! Has anyone started a "the corrado forum" club" on it yet? If not I may start one tonight. I did notice the VR6 doesn't sound so much like a VR6 as it does in Forza 4. Is this just me?

She's bound to be. Still she must be used to them after hanging around with him :lol:

What an arse. I have been scammed before, and it really is not a nice experience. Luckily for me most people are honest. Hopefully his girlfriend is sleeping her way around the uni campus :dance:

This apparently is quite common. I bought a set of ABF cams for mine, which had pitting of various lobes. Various 'expert' sources told me they should be fine. Put them in and run them for a 1000 miles and check. I have done this - so far so good.
